Resin acids support intestinal homeostasis

Farm animal performance depends on gastrointestinal functions. Coniferous resin acids support intestinal homeostasis by inhibiting inflammation-associated loss of epithelial integrity and by favouring the growth of beneficial microbes. Gastrointestinal homeostasis is a prerequisite for the optimal performance of farm animals. The multi-tasking gut needs to digest the feed, absorb the nutrients, host a balanced microbiota and maintain the epithelial barrier and immune functions. A balanced gut f
